This powerful Southern novel centers on life in Scottsboro, Alabama (the novel's Bellefonte) between 1923 and 1946 and focuses on the life of Eileen Holder and her classmates from their days as high school sophomores through the carefree days of the 1920s, the devastation of the Great Depression, and the disruption of World War II. The theme of the novel is change--change in the American South and in the lives of the characters.
